At the Guild - Plastering Begins - Rehearsals Started

Things are beginning to pick up at the Players Guild of Dearborn. Renovation activities are moving forward, hopefully toward completion before the season actually begins.

The ceiling in the auditorium is being replastered. Jerry Milliken, an independent plasterer, has undertaken this big job. Jerry even called his father out of retirement to help. Their task is particularly daunting as it isn't easy to use scaffolding in a room where the floor is raked.

A couple of pictures of Jerry and his dad are attached.

Meanwhile, behind the visqueen, rehearsals are underway for the first production of the season, The Fantasticks.
